    We get a text if the child has bumped their head, and a phone call if its serious. Plus the child has a sticker "I bumped my head today"

    We've had this scanario yesterday. My 6 year old has come home with a cut across his eyelid. He's informed me that another little boy has kicked a football and hit him in the eye. Apparently he has told the dinner lady who said "oh you'll be ok" and then the teacher who said the same thing,

    As a trainee teacher I know that these things happen and it more than likely was an accident, however i'm not happy that we were,nt told or given a "injury slip". The cut itself is only minor, but is also slightly swollen.

    Due to my sons older brother collecting him yesterday, I didnt know anything about it until I returned him. It is now half term here so I have taken a couple of pictures of his eye and will be speaking to his teacher when school starts again.

    I'm not going to kick up a big fuss or go to the head etc. But I do think that parents should always be notified in these instances.
